Happy New Year!

2011. I like the way that sounds. It really blows my mind that 2010 is gone though. It seems like we were just having conversations of how exactly to say 2010. "Twenty ten" or "Two Thousand Ten," etc.

We had a fun party this year to ring in the new year. Our best friends and their families joined us at our house for food, fun, fireworks, games, and a sleepover (for the kids that is). The kids all play really well together and after they went to bed, the adults had a great time playing games and hanging out.

All the kiddos!

Eating some dinner in party hats!

Such a cutie!

Loving her pockets and her party hat!

Kade loved playing with and talking to Brielle.

Ready for the firework show! Which didn't end up well when the first thing we did exploded with a bang. We asked the guy for the fireworks that didn't make noise. We had some last year that were great. Well, the lame guy gave us very loud ones! So it ended up making half the kids cry. Ooops!

So we moved on to the quiet sparklers.

Which most of the kids were a fan of!

The boys had a blast!


And Finley LOVED them! :o)

I think she would have done sparklers all night! She was like a moth to light. As soon as you lit one up she was begging to hold it! Absolutely no fear!

Unlike this one who crouched behind the pole or somebody's leg most of the night.

Brynlee was very brave too.

Our turn.

Doing cool stuff with night mode.

Boy's turn!

Being silly.

Time for the slumber party. MK was super excited, but Brynlee was ready for bed!

Finley joining the big girls for a minute!

The boys were old pros this time since Kade had spent the night with Evan a few weeks ago.

Looking so cute!

Great pictures! I love that Finn is in two of the adult pictures, begging for our sparklers. Can't wait to do this again!
